Everyone is a miracle. The fact that you can come into this world requires the efforts of many people behind your birth. You need 2 parents, 4 grandparents, 8 great-grandparents, 16 great-great-grandparents, 32 great-great-great-grandparents, 64 ancestors, 128 ancestors, 256 ancestors, 512 ancestors, 1,024 ancestors, 2,048 ancestors, and ancient ancestors. Just to bring the present you into existence, tracing back 12 generations, about 400 years, there are 4,094 ancestors standing behind you. Among them, some experienced wars, some endured famines, some lived anonymous lives, but they have never been absent. You are not a coincidence; you are a miracle in the long river of time. This paragraph is truly wonderful. I’m sharing it directly with everyone.
